Disturbed's mascot, named "The Guy", was originally just a drawing of a face with a large grin, as seen on the back of the album The Sickness. The original drawing of "The Guy" was then edited using a digital distorting program. After the original image had been distorted three times "The Guy" became the official mascot for the band. Later, he would be drawn as a full figure by artist David Finch.

The whole "Ten Thousand Fists" album was dedicated to Dimebag Darrel as it says in the album booklet: "We would like to dedicate this record to the memory of our late fallen brother. Dimebag Darrel, one of the greatest guitar players to ever walk the face of this earth"

The music video for the song Stricken, from Disturbed's album Ten Thousand Fists, was filmed in an abandoned hospital where parts of the film A Nightmare On Elm Street were filmed.

The song Prayer is about a conversation between lead singer David Draiman and God after the death of Draiman's grandfather.
